General information about using the appliance
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food stand
for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal contain-
ers, etc. before you prepare the food.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with material suitable
for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep it crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and
time too high. The food can dry out, burn or catch fire
in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in
their shells, because they can explode. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as potatoes, to-
matoes, sausages, with a fork several times before
cooking so that the food does not explode.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred from time
to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such as car-
rots, peas or cauliflower, must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic or
earthenware with small holes, e. g. on handles or un-
glazed bottoms. Moisture going into the holes can
cause the cookware to crack when it is heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space for heating
food or liquids. It is necessary for the operation of the
microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned
plate with a container below it so that the defrosting
liquid collects in the container.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting time. If pos-
sible, divide and then remove the pieces that started
to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance, but let it
defrost at room temperature. This gives a more even
result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium packaging
before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables, which are to
be further prepared while raw, in the appliance. Let
them defrost at room temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power to cook fruit
and vegetables without defrosting them first.
